Comedy. Romance David Berman and his friends, all Holocaust survivors, have only one purpose: to go to America as soon as possible. For this they need money. Close to his aim, David is not only deprived of his savings but also overtaken by his shady past.

	Media	Author	Review
		David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter	"An original angle on postwar reconciliation (...) It tells an unusual story with gusto, enlivened by an enjoyable performance from Moritz Bleibtreu"
		Derek Smith Slant	"A touch of the grim, raw immediacy of 'Germany Year Zero' could have conveyed the gravity of David’s Holocaust experience, but Garbarski defaults to the slight sentimentality of 'Life Is Beautiful' (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"
		Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times	"Deeply felt yet unsentimental (...) Not your typical Holocaust-inspired drama."
		Jessica Kiang Variety	"[It] displays too much polish and too little passion (...) The comedy and drama cancel each other out rather than collide"
		Lee Marshall Screendaily	"Stories touch chords that are both poignant, funny and bitter (...) Entertaining, watchable"
